How it works

Step 1

First, open the original image. To make it easy, you can drag an
image from any folder and drop it into the PhotoWipe application.

Step 2

Next, paint the parts that you don't want black. PhotoWipe works best when
covering small, or long and thin portions of the photo. Otherwise, it is harder
to guess what should be there.

Step 3

After you have done blacking out parts of the photo, you can preview the
result. PhotoWipe can take several minutes to do its work, and you will be able
to see what is going on the whole time. Presto, now you can save the finished
product, or copy it to the clipboard.

Greycstoration library

PhotoWipe uses a modified version of the
greycstoration
image processing library, which was created by David Tschumperlé. The
library has been changed to be able to communicate with the main PhotoWipe
program via shared memory and windows messages, which are must faster than
temporary files. In compliance with with license agreement, you can download
the source code here.
